In case you missed the big news from the new series, here’s how the Doctor Who website teased one of the bigger revelations we can expect. Amid a gallery of close up shots depicting various Dalek parts, they said: “Here are some sneaky pictures fresh from the set of Doctor Who, where the Daleks are being wheeled before the cameras once again.

First up, Nick Briggs, a.k.a. the voice of the Daleks, talks about why the most iconic of Who villains have remained fearsome over the years:

Plus, how does one get a job as the voice of the Daleks? Briggs explains:

Also, how do Doctor Who‘s monsters and alien go from ideas to fully-fleshed beings. The show’s prosthetics designer Neill Gorton chats about how the art of crafting lifelike creatures has evolved over time:
